Think of Galileo“s 17th century trial for his rebelling belief before
22、 the Catholic Church or poet William Blake“s harsh remarks against the mechanistic worldview of Isaac Newton. The schism between science and the humanities has, if anything, deepened in this century. Until recently, the scientific community was so powerful that it could afford to ignore its critics,
23、 but no longer. As funding for science has declined, scientists have attacked “antiscience“ in several books, notably Higher Superstition, by Paul R.Gross, a biologist at the University of Virginia, and Norman Levitt, a mathematician at Rutgers University, and The Demon-Haunted World, by Car Sagan o
24、f Cornell University. Defenders of science have also voiced their concerns at meetings such as “The Flight from Science and Reason,“ held in New York City in 1995, and “Science in the Age of (Mis) information,“ which assembled last June near Buffalo. Antiscience clearly means different things to dif
25、ferent people. Gross and Levitt find fault primarily with sociologists, philosophers and other academics who have questioned science“s objectivity. Sagan is more concerned with those who believe in ghosts, creationism and other phenomena that contradict the scientific worldview. A survey of news sto
26、ries in 1996 reveals that the antiscience tag has been attached to many other groups as well, from authorities who advocated the elimination of the last remaining stocks of smallpox virus to Republicans; who advocated decreased funding for basic research. Few would dispute that the term applies to t

But surely that does not mean environmentalists concerned about uncontrolled industrial growth are antiscience, as an essay in US News & World Report last May seemed to suggest. The en
28、vironmentalists, inevitably, respond to such critics. The true enemies of science, argues Paul Ehrlich of Stanford University, a pioneer of environmental studies, are those who question the evidence supporting global warming, the depletion of the ozone layer and other consequences of industrial grow
29、th. Indeed, some observers fear that the antiscience epithet is in danger of becoming meaningless. “The term “antiscience“ can lump together too many, quite different things,“ notes Harvard University philosopher Gerald Holton in his 1993 works Science and Anti Science. “They have in common only one thing that they tend to annoy or threaten those who regard themselves as more enlightened.“
